No, the Olympic Village Beds Were Not Created to Prevent the Athletes From F*cking Each Other

With the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics underway, now's the time to lust over the most physically fit people in the world. And while yes, they're competing for gold, Olympians are also just Horny Humans who realize they are in the presence of other very hot people.

So when Olympic runner Paul Chelimo tweeted a pic on July 16 of what the competitors were given to sleep on, people started to think the athletes were given "anti-sex beds" to discourage them from engaging in another form of physical activity.

But as it turns out, the beds that look like they were made out of Amazon Prime boxes were actually chosen for sustainability, not to discourage sex. The Japanese bedding company Airweave provided 18,000 beds and mattresses made of polyethylene, which can be recycled after the games.

According to USA Today, this will be "the first time in Olympic and Paralympic history that all beds and bedding are made almost entirely from renewable materials," which is obviously a major win for the environment.

Plus, the beds are made to hold up to 441 pounds, so don't judge the design so fast! Rhys Mcclenaghan, a gymnast from Ireland, posted a video to Twitter debunking the whole "these beds aren't able to withstand movement" claim by literally jumping up and down in his. (Idk what kind of sex Rhys is having, but I'm here for it.)

Bottom line: If you think some cardboard beds are going to stop people from hooking up, you are seriously mistaken. The Olympic Games are a once-in-a-lifetime chance for these folks to hook up with people from around the world with amazing stamina.

Ryan Lochte literally told ESPN in 2012 that 70 to 75 percent of Olympians are getting it on at the games—and it's the reason why they give out so many condoms. So let what happens in Olympic Village—and on those ugly beds—stay in the Olympic Village.
